1st reason why the snorkel: Dust Reduction: It draws in cleaner air from higher up, away from the heavy clouds of dust kicked up by your tires or vehicles driving ahead in a convoy. This extends the life of your air filter.
2nd reason why the snorkel: A snorkel on a 4x4 raises the engine's air intake from the lower wheel arch or bonnet up to roof level to protect and improve the engine during off-road driving.
3rd reason why the snorkel: Water Crossing Protection: It prevents hydrolocking—a catastrophic and expensive situation where your engine sucks in water instead of air, bending valves or rods.
4th reason why the snorkel: It pulls in cooler air from outside the hot engine bay, which is denser and can slightly improve combustion efficiency and engine performance.
